About Ace IT

IT Support shouldn’t just be about reacting to a problem when it occurs, it should be about trying to make sure those problems don’t occur.

That’s why our service levels are all aimed at responding within one hour whether it is a single user issue or an issue that affects your entire workforce.

Combining a highly skilled team of engineers with years of experience in supporting small to medium businesses, Ace IT are perfectly positioned to be able to give you peace of mind and let you go back to performing your business services with confidence that your IT systems won’t let you down.

Ace was founded with the simple aim of providing excellent customer service with a human face. Unlike many of our competitors we like to get all of our technical staff out meeting our clients, that way they can really understand your systems and the way you work. We always aim to provide solutions that will last allowing us to build long term relationships with both our customers and suppliers.

Located just minutes from Junction 26 of the M1 we are ideally located for our clients in Derby, Nottingham and further afield.
